The Kansas City Chiefs made the surprising decision to release former Pro Bowl receiver Jeremy Maclin two weeks ago despite not having much depth at the position.

Maclin signed with the Baltimore Ravens shortly after being cut, but he told PFT Live that he was surprised about being released.

More shockingly, Maclin found out about being released through a voicemail from general manager John Dorsey.

“I was upset,” Maclin said. “I was shocked. Apparently, they had been trying to trade me for two or three months. Which who knows if that’s true or not? I would just think that . . . a guy who is going into his ninth year would know if he’s being shopped or not. It is what it is. I still have respect for Big Red, still have respect for the organization. I’m not going to bad mouth anybody or talk any dirt on anybody. It was an unfortunate situation.”
